NOTE: The data and findings below are drafts subject to change and some pieces are still in the QA process.
RACE COUNTS provides a 3D view of racial equity:
PERFORMANCE: How
well people are doing. The higher the circle, the better the
performance.
DISPARITY: How racial groups compare to one another.
The further right the circle, the greater the differences by race.
IMPACT: The total population. The bigger the circle, the larger the
population.
Purple counties: Gains at Risk;
Orange counties: Prosperity for
the Few;
Yellow counties:
Struggling to Prosper;
Red counties:
Stuck and Unequal.
Central Valley counties exhibit lower economic performance and greater racial disparity in economic opportunity and wages compared to other counties. (See scatterplot on Economic Opportunity Index and People Ages 18-64 Earning A Living Wage (%))
NH-White and Asian residents across the counties have higher per capita income compared to other racial groups, who earn below the average income rate for all groups. (See bar chart on Per Capita Income ($))
NH-AIAN, NH-Black, and Latinx residents have incomes that fall below the cost-of-living-adjusted poverty rate. (See bar chart on Households Above Real Cost Measure ($))
Pacific Islanders, Latinx, AIAN, and NH-Black residents are far less likely to be employed as officials or managers. (See bar chart on People Ages 18-64 in labor Force who are Employed as Officials or Managers per 1k People)
1) “Other” race includes those who identify with a race outside
of the specifically named categories, such as Asian, White, etc.
2)
Race labels for bar charts: The “NH_” prefix signifies that a group is
non-Latinx (excludes Latinx).
3) The “two_or_more” group represents
those who identify as Two or More Races.
Most Central Valley counties have lower than average performance, with most having higher than average disparity as well.
All Bay Area counties have higher than average performance with low levels of disparity on the Economic Opportunity Index. However, Marin, Napa, and San Francisco also have higher than average levels of disparity.
